WHAT'S THE NUMBER ONE KILLER
OF INTIMACY IN MARRIAGE?

BOREDOM!

You wake up at the same time every day, eat the same thing for breakfast, and say the same things to each other. Throughout the day, you follow the same worn-out rituals. Where's the passion, the intimacy, the spontaneity? They have given way to the roles most women and men follow with mind-numbing consistency- she plays Cinderella, and he plays the Caveman.

• She duitifully cares for others, ignoring her own needs.
• He focuses on his own needs: food, food, sex, food, sex, and sex.
• She believes she will live happily ever after, but she doesn't take constructive steps to reach her goals.
• He can't imagine life being any better than it already is- as long as he has the remote and she doesn't want to talk.

With deep insight and plenty of humor, David Clarke reveals the destructive patterns that keep couples from the intimacy God intends for them to enjoy, and he offers clear, practical advice for leaving the boredom behind the adventuring into a new life of emotional, physical, and spiritual oneness.
